Organic Pesticides & Bug Sprays for Garden

Organic pesticides vary greatly in material and mode of action. Examples of natural & organic pesticide types are the following:

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)

Organic pesticides vary greatly in material and mode of action. Examples of natural & organic pesticides include oil for insect suffocation, bacteria lethal only to a specific insect, microscopically sharp substances to lacerate soft-bodied insect causing desiccation, natural substances that interfere with insect functioning and interrupts the life cycle, or benign substances like soap that kill insect pests.

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)

There is a concern that the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) genetically engineered into GMO corn, which is killing monarch butterflies and other beneficial insects, is the same Bt that organic gardeners have used for years. This is not true! The Bt sprays that we sell contain Bt bacteria spores that are naturally encapsulated in a matrix that allows the toxin of the Bt to be released only when it is ingested by an organism with an alkaline pH gut, including the targeted Lepidoptera order. Although monarch butterflies belong to the Lepidoptera order, organic gardeners only spray Bt on specific crops, such as tomatoes, that are not normally food for wild butterflies. (Monarch butterflies specifically need milkweed.) Also, the Bt sprays that we sell degrade quickly in sunlight, so even if a butterfly consumed the recently sprayed pollen of a tomato, there would only be a few days when it might consume the active Bt. By far the most-used biologicals are Bts. Bt is a naturally occurring bacteria with many powerful insect-specific strains. Like other biologicals, Bts biodegrade in sunlight and may require reapplication. Bt for Caterpillars & Worms: Safe for the user and the environment, Bacillus thuringiensis v. kurstaki is a pest control mainstay for organic vegetable growers. This bacteria is highly effective against most species of leaf-feeding moth & butterfly (Lepidoptera) larvae.

Biological Insecticides

“Biologicals” are naturally-occurring insecticidal organisms, usually bacteria, which attack only specific pests. Biologicals are and always have been central to organic pest control because they are highly effective, insect-specific, biodegradable and non-toxic to humans, animals, beneficial insects and the environment. They will not cause secondary pest outbreaks. Biologicals are the foremost organic choice for control of many pests, such as caterpillars, grasshoppers, fungus gnats, fire blight, and more. Biologicals work best if the pH of your spray water is between 5 and 6 and if they are applied in early morning or late afternoon. The addition of a spreader/sticker such as NuFilm (see Foliar Spray Enhancers) will significantly extend the life of many biologicals such as Bt. However, they are still short-lived in sunlight and may require reapplication under heavy pest pressure.

Botanical Insecticides/Fungicides

Made from plants which are shown to have pesticide qualities. Generally, some of these materials, while safer to the user and the environment than chemical pest controls, are very strong and should be used as a last resort. Used inappropriately, these stronger botanicals, like rotenone, pyrethrin and sabadilla, can cause more trouble than they relieve by upsetting your biological balance and triggering secondary pest outbreaks. For severe or transitional situations they can be fully warranted on a temporary basis. Use a respirator, protective clothing and follow the label instructions exactly.

Botanical Nematicides

Similar to Biological Nematicides, but these contain botanical extracts that protect plants from pathogenic nematodes in the soil. Multiple applications and use of more than 1 product may be required for adequate control. Botanical Nematicides can also negatively affect beneficial nematodes that live in your soil, so use nematicides with care.

Neem Extracts

This botanical insecticide is extracted from the seed of the tropical neem tree. The active ingredient, Azadirachtin, repels, prevents molting and suppresses feeding. Does not harm humans, birds, plants, or earthworms. Neem has been used for centuries against aphids, whiteflies, thrips, hornworms, leafminers, gypsy moths, weevils, webworms, loopers, sawflies and more. Neem is most effective against insects which pass through all stages of metamorphosis. Use as a last resort, Neem extract can harm beneficial insects.

Neem Oil: Broad Spectrum Insecticide/Miticide

A unique broad spectrum pesticide which acts as an insecticide, fungicide, and miticide. As fungicides, they are most effective when used as a preventative or when disease pressure is light. Works by coating plant surfaces, therefore preventing fungal spore germination and killing external fungi on leaf surfaces. Thorough coverage is important. As an insecticide/miticide, use when insect/mite pressure is light to moderate. Suffocates insects and mites on contact and is especially effective on whiteflies, aphids and other soft bodied insects. Also acts as a repellent. Since this product is an oil, it can also kill bees if they are exposed to direct treatment so we recommend applying this product when they are not visiting your plants.

Oil products

Can be used as dormant oils, growing-season sprays or spray adjuvants for smothering such pests as overwintering scales, mites, aphids, and peach twig borer. May be unnecessary for most small scale users unless past experience has indicated a serious problem with these pests. There are many orchards which are doing well and have never been sprayed with oils. In commercial applications or serious pest outbreaks, the use of oils may prove necessary.

Pyrethrins

This broad-spectrum, contact-kill insecticide is an extract of the crushed dried flowers of Chrysanthemum cinerarifolium, a perennial daisy like plant from Kenya. Pyrethrin has at least 6 active insecticidal qualities. It is known for its unique “knock-down” quality which stuns flying insects, causing them to quickly fall to the ground. Pyrethrin is also called an “exciter’’ because it gets insects out of protected hiding spots by irritation, exposing them to predators and bringing them into contact with the spray. Insects have never developed resistance to it in over 100 years of use. Pyrethrin is used against a wide range of insects including ants, aphids, army worms, beetles (asparagus, blister, cucumber, Colorado potato, flea, Mexican bean), cabbage loopers, caterpillars, cockroaches, earwigs, fleas, flies, harlequin bugs, fruit flies, leafrollers, leafhoppers, mosquitoes, psyllids, thrips, ticks, whiteflies, & more. Pyrethrin is toxic to fish and has some ill effect on beneficials. However, for the user, it is far safer than chemicals and is one of the safest botanicals available. Quickly broken down in the sunlight, so it has a short residual in the field. For this reason it may require repeated applications. For maximum effect, apply in the evening or at night. Some, but not all, of our pyrethrin products are formulated with piperonyl butoxide (PBO). PBO is extracted from a Brazilian species of sassafras and is added as a synergist which increases the effectiveness of pyrethrins. CAUTION: Pyrethrum products containing PBO are not allowed under the NOP rules. All the pyrethrins in our products are 100% natural, not synthetic.

Spinosad

Nerve and stomach poison derived via fermentation from naturally occurring bacterium Saccharopolyspora spinosa. New chemistry represents an alternative to Bt for worm control and offers excellent control of targeted pests and low toxicity to nontarget organisms, including most beneficial insects. Low mammalian toxicity, helps conserve beneficials.

Top 6 organic pest control products – Reviews

1. Best neem oil spray: Natria Ready-to-Use Neem Oil Spray 

This neem oil spray from Natria is ready-to-use, which means it comes already mixed with water in the bottle, and you don’t have to dilute it yourself before spraying. It kills pests that you directly spray with it and remains on plants for up to 14 days to kill other pests that come along. The spray won’t wash off with rain, as long as it has 24 hours to dry.  

For best results, apply the spray to every part of your plants every seven to 14 days. If it’s a heavy pest problem or your plants have fungus (neem oil acts as a fungicide, too), apply every seven days. Apply in the early morning or evening (when pollinators are not actively foraging) to avoid contact with pollinators. 

For more use instructions, read the product label. If you want to research further before purchasing, you can view the entire product label online here.  

If you checked the product label and noticed the spray contains only 0.9% neem oil, don’t be alarmed. Remember, this product is diluted on purpose. The other 99.1% of its ingredients are water and emulsifying agents to keep the water and oil from separating. Emulsifiers are often used in food, so they’re safe for organic gardening.

Best spinosad spray: Monterey Garden Insect Spray

You’ll be impressed with how quickly Monterey’s Garden Insect Spray with spinosad eradicates pests if you use it according to the label instructions. For some pests (namely fire ants and thrips), this product has wiped out entire infestations in 24 hours with just one application. Plus, spinosad has residual effects for two to four weeks after application. 

Note that this product is a concentrate, which means you will have to mix it with water before spraying, or else you might harm your plants. Mix a ½ tablespoon (0.25 fluid ounces) of Garden Insect Spray per pint of water, 1 tablespoon (0.5 fluid ounces) per quart of water, or 4 tablespoons (2 fluid ounces) per gallon of water. Shake the mixture well before spraying.

Note: Be careful how much Monterey spray you mix at one time. Only mix as much as you need for one use. You won’t be able to use any leftover later, and it will go to waste. 

If you want the fast-acting results we described above, you have to apply this product to the underside and upper side of all the foliage on your infested plants. For more use instructions, view the product label.

Best natural insecticidal soap: Safer Brand Insect Killing Soap

Safer Brand’s Insect Killing Soap uses potassium salts of fatty acids as its active ingredient, which is gentle on plants and the environment but effective for killing soft-bodied pests. This soap also includes a special ingredient: seaweed. Seaweed is great for your plants, and studies show that it deters mites. 

The problem with this product is that it only kills on-contact. So, it will wipe out the pests you directly spray with it, but it won’t remain on the plant to kill other pests. If you don’t hit every pest, your infestation will likely continue. So, you have to apply this product quite often for good results (but that’s the case with any insecticidal soap). 

This insecticidal soap spray is ready-to-use when you buy it. You don’t have to dilute it. For best results, spray your infested plants thoroughly, to the point that the product runs off the leaves in streams. Test the product on a small section of your plant first before spraying it all over to make sure the plant doesn’t react negatively.  

Safer Brand recommends spraying your plants every 5 to 7 days, but more frequent applications may be necessary for you. We recommend spraying your plants any time you see pests on them, regardless of the time between applications. 

For more use instructions, see the product label or Safer Brand’s website.

Best diatomaceous earth (DE) product: Harris Diatomaceous Earth Food Grade with powder duster

Diatomaceous earth (DE) is a powder made of the ground-up fossils of tiny aquatic creatures. Some products contain a certain percentage of other minerals or substances, but this product from Harris is 100% pure DE.  

Why else do we love this particular DE product? First of all, it comes with its own powder duster, so you don’t have to buy any additional equipment to apply the DE powder effectively and efficiently. 

Other benefits of choosing the Harris brand: This product is made entirely in the United States. Harris sources its DE from mines in Nevada and packages products in Georgia. Plus, the brand donates 10% of its profits to its local humane society, so you can impact the lives of other animals while protecting wildlife in your own backyard with organic pest control.

DE controls many lawn and garden pests, and you can use it indoors, too. This product has wiped out whole populations of common household pests such as roaches, fleas, and ants. Just keep a couple of things in mind if you’re using it indoors: 1) DE is essentially dust, so it can get messy, and 2) It causes irritation if it gets in your eyes or you breathe too much of it in, so be very careful using it around pets.  

A warning that goes for all DE: It isn’t effective once it gets wet. For best results, apply this product when you don’t expect rain for at least 24 hours. If the pests are still there after a rain, you’ll need to apply DE again. 

Pests this product controls:

Is this product OMRI listed? Yes; View the OMRI certificate

ProsCons
Controls many pests in the lawn, garden, and home

Comes with application tool 		Doesn’t work anymore after it gets wet

Best Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) product: Monterey B.t. Biological Insecticide

Bacillus thuringiensis (commonly called Bt) is a natural bacteria that kills caterpillars and worms (not including earthworms), and boy does this concentrate from Monterey do the trick! It has eliminated whole infestations of cabbageworms, caterpillars on potted plants, tobacco worms on petunias, and more.

If you want success with this product, it’s very important to follow the application instructions on the product label. For one, since this product is a concentrate, you have to dilute it with water using the correct ratio. You can then spray it using a regular spray bottle or a hose-end sprayer (the label includes directions for each).

Another reason you have to follow the instructions carefully is that this product is only effective if the pests eat it. So, you have to spray it when the pests are feeding, usually in the morning or evening. Spray it all over the tops and bottoms of leaves so no matter where pests take a bite out of your plant, they’ll get a bite of Bt, too.  

You may still see pests crawling around your plants for a week or so after applying this product, but that doesn’t mean it’s not working. Bt doesn’t kill pests immediately. It causes them to stop eating, which eventually results in their death. 

You’ll likely have to reapply Monterey Bt after five to seven days for continued control. You also should reapply after heavy rains, which can wash the product off plant leaves. This concentrated form is a more economical choice than Monterey’s ready-to-use Bt spray because of the need for repeat applications. 

A note on shelf life: Some distributors claim this product has a shelf life of five years, but in real life, it’s often most effective in the first season you purchase it and less potent after one year. Also, if you store it outdoors or in a non-temperature-controlled garage or shed where it can get very hot or freeze, it may lose some of its potency.

Pests this product controls:

ProsCons
Great at eliminating worms and caterpillars that eat your plants
More cost-effective than ready-to-use sprays		Have to mix it yourself before spraying
Usually needs repeat applications

Best non-toxic pest trap: NiHome Non-Toxic Fly Catcher

These super-sticky traps from NiHome catch flies and other small pests buzzing around your plants. They have stakes so you can stick them in the ground or in pots, and they also come with twist ties you can use to attach the traps higher up on plants. 

Since these traps don’t use any toxic substances, they’re safe to use indoors or outdoors. Just beware: When we say the glue is super sticky, we mean SUPER sticky. If a pet swats at one of these or a small child grabs it, they’ll probably be walking around with a fly trap stuck to them until you help them remove it. 

The traps last for a long time, even outdoors. Sun and moisture don’t affect their stickiness, and you don’t have to replace them until they’re totally covered in bugs. Since one pack comes with 48 traps, you won’t need to restock for a while. 

This product has some limitations: While the traps are great at catching flies, gnats, and similar flying pests, they aren’t very effective for crawling pests that eat your plants, such as aphids. And while you can control minor infestations with these, a more thorough pest control product (like the others on this list) will likely be necessary for large infestations. 

Pests this product controls:

Is this product OMRI listed? No

ProsCons
Sticky glue on both sides of each trap to catch as many pests as possible
Very easy to set up
Comes with 48 packs per trap 		Not very useful for crawling pests
Have to watch out for the glue around pets and small children and while you’re installing the traps

Buyers guide to organic pest control products

If you’re new to the world of organic pest control, you might not understand what the products on this list are or how they work. In this guide, we’ll explain more about the most popular types of organic pest control to help you figure out which is best for your lawn and garden.  

Types of organic pest control 

These are some of the most popular types of organic pest control products you’ll find while shopping. Most are represented in our top picks, but some are highly specific to your situation, so you’ll have to find the best option for yourself. 

This video from Buzzfeed Nifty will show you how to make a few different homemade pesticide sprays with no harmful chemicals:

What does it mean to be OMRI listed?

While you’re researching organic pest control products, you’ll see the phrase “OMRI listed” all over the place. The Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) is an international nonprofit that determines which products can be used in organic gardening based on USDA National Organic Program standards. 

If a product is OMRI listed, that means it has been thoroughly reviewed by experts and certified as organic. Using OMRI-listed products can give you peace of mind that what you’re using in your lawn and garden is truly organic. 

FAQ about organic pest control 

Does organic pest control really work?

Short answer: Yes! Organic pest control methods are effective for dealing with lawn and garden pests, but if you expect organic products to work exactly like chemicals, you will be disappointed. While most chemical pesticides kill insects immediately and indiscriminately, organic products require a little patience and forethought. 

Most organic pesticides need some time to lower pest populations. You might not see results for a few days or a few weeks, depending on the product — but that doesn’t mean it’s not working. Organic options are also more selective, so you have to identify the pest in your lawn and garden first and then choose the right type of organic pesticide for that species.  

But organic pest control is worth the wait and the work. When you use methods that don’t harm beneficial insects, those insects will prey on your pests and help keep populations down. Plus, pollinators like bees and butterflies help your garden produce more seeds and fruits for plant reproduction. 

Are organic pest control products more expensive?

Yes, in most cases, organic pest control products are more expensive than their chemical counterparts. Even if the cost is the same or less upfront, organic products often need more frequent applications than chemicals, which results in a higher cost in the long run.  

Remember, though: There are lots of DIY organic pest control options that cost far less than any products you can buy, whether organic or inorganic. If cost is keeping you from going organic, you should definitely look into homemade remedies before purchasing chemicals. 

Is neem oil organic?

Yes, neem oil is considered organic because it comes from the naturally occurring neem tree. But something you should know: Neem oil is slightly toxic to fish and other aquatic animals, and it can harm bees if you aren’t careful to avoid contact with them. 

Can you eat vegetables sprayed with organic pesticides?

One of the benefits of organic pesticides is that they aren’t toxic to humans, so, yes, it is safe to eat fruits and vegetables that have been sprayed with organic pesticides. Even so, you should always wash produce before eating it. 

Beyond the products: Cultural practices to prevent lawn and garden pests

Organic pest control products work best when they don’t have to work alone. You can use our picks for the best organic pest control products to eliminate pest infestations, but there’s also a lot you can do to prevent those infestations in the first place.  

Here are some lawn and garden care tips that will help prevent pests:

With proper lawn care and garden maintenance, you may never need pest control products in the first place! And without proper care, your pest problems are only going to get worse, no matter what products you use.

Natural repellents and herbal remedies against mosquitoes

Insects always darken the summer holidays - they constantly surround, buzz and itch, bite in unexpected places so that you then have to walk for three days with swollen red spots on the skin. In general, mosquitoes, midges, flies and, especially, horseflies are nothing but trouble. To get rid of them, there are repellents - repellents.

Out of habit, many people buy in supermarkets and pharmacies advertised best mosquito sprays not knowing how harmful they are . In most of these products, the main insect repellent substance is diethyl phthalate (DEET) - a odor fixative in perfumery. It is widely used in cosmetology, while being, according to a Greenpeace report for 2005, the most dangerous substance in existence. Firstly, it is strictly prohibited for pregnant women, since even a small amount of phthalates can interfere with the normal development of the fetus. Secondly, it is itself toxic. Third, as a result of long studies, phthalates have been associated with an increase in the statistics of hormonal disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome, infertility, and breast cancer. nine0007

In short, it is better not to harm yourself and use natural mosquito repellents. However, there are not as many natural repellents on the market as we would like. We found two and tested them.

Mi&Ko Spray against mosquitoes "Lavender" (320 rubles) is a natural remedy, Russian. Although the label says "lavender", the main smell in the spray is still geranium. The product smells very strong even in a closed bottle. The composition includes artesian water, ethyl alcohol, essential oils of citronella, lavender, cloves, geranium and xanthan gum. Due to alcohol and gum, the product is not recommended for pregnant women and children under 3 years of age. As for the application, you just need to shake it up and apply it on the skin or clothes. nine0007

Pros : The spray really works. It should be noted that the strong smells of essential oils (especially citronella) repel not only insects, but also people with allergies to geraniums. The main thing, of course, is that mosquitoes do not really bite where the spray is applied, and existing bites stop itching (thanks to the soothing lavender oil). The spray does not leave a film on the skin, but rather moisturizes it and makes it seem softer.

Cons : The mere sight of a glass jar is a little unnerving: it is about to break. Despite the fact that glass retains the texture and smells of the essential oils contained in the product better, we noted the glass packaging as a minus. nine0007

Buy here.

LAFES Organic Insect Repellent Spray for Babies 0+ Months ($479) is a product from an American cosmetics company that started out making natural deodorants. According to many, this is the best mosquito spray. Certified Organic by USDA Organic. The composition includes water purified by reverse osmosis and essential oils of plants that repel mosquitoes: eucalyptus globulus, lemon, lavender and sweet almond. The amount of essential oil of fragrant pelargonium or geranium in the composition of the product is less than 1%. Organic emulsifier to protect the components of essential oils from segregation creates a milky, whitish shade of the product. As for the application, the product should be shaken and applied to exposed areas of the body every 2-3 hours or as often as necessary. nine0007

Pros : 100% natural mosquito repellent, even the emulsifier in it is organic. Suitable for children, even the smallest ones. Does not leave marks on the skin, does not create a film. The spray smells pleasantly of a mixture of oils, baby cream and almonds. And despite the slight smell, it is very effective in protecting against mosquitoes and other insects. In addition, the product is hypoallergenic. Does not harm the skin of the child, so you can apply it often. In addition, the spray packaging is certified and harmless for babies and adults: special safe plastic does not have estrogenic activity, does not contain Bisphenol A, phthalates and other unsafe chemicals. nine0007

Cons : The agent quickly “weathers” and finishes working, so you have to apply it quite often: every 40-50 minutes, and if there are a lot of mosquitoes around, then even more often. So, minus one - the tool is quickly consumed.

Buy here.

If suddenly you cannot find these funds, then we will tell you about other ways to protect yourself from hated mosquitoes. And first of all, let's pay attention to citronella essential oil - a really effective herbal remedy . It is enough to apply it pointwise to areas of the skin - and the insects literally fly around. By the way, in the countries of Southeast Asia, only citronella is saved (by essential oil and products based on it). You can find citronella in the same place as other essential oils - in pharmacies and stores with natural cosmetics.

E If citronella is not at hand, these methods will help: nine0068

  • Essential oils from plants that repel mosquitoes: cloves, basil, anise, eucalyptus are great help. They need to lubricate open areas of the skin (5-10 drops per glass of water), or drop them into a source of fire - a fireplace, a fire, a candle or a heated frying pan. You can also moisten a cotton wool with one of these oils and put it on the windowsill.
  • Fresh elderberry branches can be placed in the room. They repel mosquitoes in the same way as the smell of tomato leaves.
  • If you are sitting by the fire, then throw juniper twigs into the fire, this smell will prevent mosquitoes from approaching the hearth and you. nine0068
  • The smell of cedar oil repels not only mosquitoes, but also flies and cockroaches.

    • Badger Company Organic Insect Spray + Tick Hack

    Our neighborhood is full of embankments and there are several large parks around us. In such a geography, not only people are good. The local flora, and most importantly, the fauna, feels at ease and ... bites.
    In a report on a popular insecticide, I will tell you which ethers save from which types of insects, and I will give a folk way not to pick up a tick. nine0007

    Badger Company, Bug Spray, 2. 7 fl oz (79.85 ml)

    Benefits .
    The bottle has a blue airplane badge that allows it to be carried on board.

    Formula
    Base - soybean oil glycine 23% + castor oil 10%
    Ethers - citronella 2%, cedar 2%, lemongrass 1.5%, rosemary 1%, mint 1%. nine0081 Inactive ingredients - water and essential oil of wintergreen.

    Theory
    I made a small table, highlighting in red those esters that are found in the Badger spray. As you can see, the formula is effective not only against mosquitoes, but also against flies, midges, horseflies and even ticks.

    Practice
    Shake and apply to the area of ​​the skin to be protected - neck, hair, wrists, ankles...
    A small, lightweight aluminum bottle is equipped with a very good fine mist that does not wet clothes, but lays down in an almost dry veil. nine0081 The smell is citronella, she ate all the other aromas. At first it seems excessive, but then you sniff it, and the more you use it, the better you feel about it.
    The efficiency is clear, because they circle, but do not land. Protection is enough for an hour, then you need to wrap yourself in an ethereal cloud again. Such “clothing” allows not only to move in dashes at the pace of a wildebeest, but even to stand and sit quietly. You no longer need to dance the Komarin dance with patting yourself on the “boots”, vulgarly kicking your legs, waving your arms in an uncultured way and trying to scratch one leg against the other unnoticed under the table of a street cafe. nine0007

    Life hack against ticks
    Going into the forest for mushrooms, take the prepared building tape and wrap the legs around the socks with the sticky side up. It can be easily removed without damaging clothes. Not a single tick will overcome such an obstacle course, and they do not jump from branches anyway. They can only crawl from the bottom up, such anatomy, just like a hare with long hind legs.

    Totally protected
    When all sorts of oh-oh-oh-oh happen in life, save-help and even damn it, connected with insects, that is a remedy.
